<TITLE>11. Par 110-122</TITLE>L-110 You might not like me after this, but I'm going to tell you the Truth, 'cause my--my hands is going to be free of the blood when I come to the Judgment Bar. That's one thing sure, see. Yeah. Listen, brother, there is always a voice goes with the sign, you know, and you'd better hear It; not mine, but This is what the Bible said. That's right. Oh, I know It sounds old fashion, but that's just what the Bible said, and that's what we're supposed to be.
Angels has to cover their faces, to stand in the Presence of God.

L-111   And, women, when the Bible said, "It's an uncommon thing, or common thing, for a woman even to pray with her hair cut." She has no right to pray, and you put her in the choir and even make her a preacher. That's right.

L-112 I know that makes you a little bit sick. But, you know, like mama used to tell me, about taking castor oil, "If it don't make you sick, it doesn't do you any good." So that's the way with the Gospel. It's got to get you to thinking. It's the Truth. Man and women, both, both guilty, both sides, six of one and half a dozen of the other.

L-113   That's exactly right where we stand, irreverent, no matter what the Word says. "Well, it's all right. I believe it's all right." You're presuming it's all right. The Bible said it's wrong! And presume is "to adventure without authority." You haven't got God's authority to do it.

L-114 These seminaries and schools and things, that pass over these things like that, it's a disgrace. It puts young man, young ministers, on the wrong track, take them off after some kind of a man-made theology instead of the Word of God. No wonder they can't believe a real true Message, no wonder they can't have These things in church, no wonder they have to put Him on the outside in the last days, no reverence in His Presence. His Presence can come down, they'll laugh and pop chewing gum, walk all around and carry on like I don't know what, not no more reverence than nothing, in His Presence. Now, now no reverence, at all, for God or His people.

L-115   Why, why do they do this? Now listen close. Why do they do it? They are not conscious of His Presence. They don't think it's God.

L-116 Do you think that woman would have actually... or that soldier would have smote Him in the face, and would have put a rag around His face and hit Him on the head, and said, "Now if You're a prophet, tell us who touched You"? If that man knowed that was God he was hitting, do you think he would have done it? Do you think that drunken soldier would have pulled beard out of His face, and spit in His face, with hawking and spitting in that face, if he'd a knowed that would a-been the Son of God? He wasn't conscious of it.

L-117   And today, what people calls a bunch of fanatics, they're not conscious that that's the Holy Spirit working in those people. And just get by with anything; not conscious of it, not conscious of His Presence. You know, as the old saying is... Some of them say, "I go to the meeting and laugh, go to the meeting to find fault." It's been said that fools will walk with hobnailed shoes where Angels fear to trod. Not conscious of God, that's the reason.

L-118 Why don't you be like David. David said, "I put Him always before me." That's the reason he said, "I'll not be moved," because God is always before him. Yes, sir.

L-119   Now, secondly, they covered their feet. What, "They covered their feet," meant? Humility. Covering their face meant reverence in God's Presence. Covering their feet was humility in His Presence.

L-120 Like Moses in His Presence, taking off his shoes, uncovered his feet.

L-121 Paul when he found Jesus, the Pillar of Fire, he fell to the ground, off his feet. Where his feet should have been, he had his face, humility.

L-122 John the Baptist, that great prophet, first one been on the land in four hundred years, but he said, "I'm not worthy to touch His feet, to unloose the latch that's on His sandal."
